I just built a new PC and I am trying to install Windows 10. I started by downloading the ISO file onto my Macbook (the only other computer I have), and installed it onto a USB drive via Bootcamp. I am not sure if I did this correctly because, despite the multiple attempts and methods I tried to install Windows 10 onto the computer through the USB drive, I cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong?!

Specs, if needed:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
Memory: 16GB G-Skill
Storage: WD Blue M.2 1 TB
Mobo: Asus X470 Plus Gaming

From a working Windows PC, you download the MediaCreation tool and use that to create the needed stuff on the USB.
There is a way to do it via Mac, but I am unsure of the specifics. It is more than just the ISO.

In the case of a Mac, you should probably contact this guy known as the Grey Wizard, some call him Gandolph. He will most likely set you up with a group of hobbits, a dwarf, elf, and human to go on this really involved quest for you over a ring with the instructions visible on it via the fires of an active volcano. I would be prepared for Trolls, Spiders, Wolves and all manner of obstacles and challenges in your way.....
